Abstract: The origin of deterministic diffusion is a matter of discussion. We study the asymptotic distributions of the sums yn(x)=sumk=0n1psi(x+kalpha), where psi is a periodic function of bounded variation and alpha an irrational number. It is known that no diffusion process will be observed. Nevertheless, we find a picewise constant function psi and an increasing sequence of integer (nj)j such that the limit distribution of the sequence (ynj/sqrtj)j is Gaussian (with stricly positive variance). If alpha is of constant type, we show that the sequence (nj)j may be taken to grow exponentially (this is close to optimal in some sense, and one has ||ynj||mathrmL2simmax0leklenj||yk||mathrmL2 as joinfty). We give an heuristic link with the theory of expanding maps of the interval.
